Daniel Enrique De Leon is one of those unique individuals that bring artistic talent, smarts and the rare gift of patients to do a job the right way. When it comes to 3D printing... It takes patients and experimentation to create a decent print. Daniel has proven to me that you can get not just good prints, but excellent print results no matter what brand or make of 3D printer you have. You just need to learn the tool in front of you and then don’t be afraid push it past its expected limits.
